Back 2 Natural Handmade Soap & Lip Balm Review

As a huge fan of natural and organic health and beauty products I was so excited when Back 2 Natural – a UK Based Health & Beauty Brand approach me to review some of their best selling beauty products, and with a gorgeous selection of soaps and lip balm to enjoy I can see I am going to enjoy every minute I spend reviewing these fabulously fragranced beauty treats and as most of their products are organic and suitable for vegans and vegetarians I can see why this brand is expanding their product line to include Body Balms, Sugar Scrubs and Superfood as well as their beautiful handmade soaps and bath bars!

About the Brand

Back 2 Natural is a London Based Natural Health & Beauty Brand that specialise in providing natural skin care and body care products, healthy living advice and information as well as a selection of healthy organic superfood supplements and deliciously tasty seed bags too! By saying a big NO to unnecessary ingredients, harmful additives and artificial colours and preservatives they aim to provide only the highest quality natural and in most cases totally organic products to help you lead a happy and healthy life without breaking the bank in the process! Their online store carries a vast selection of skin care and body products that are ideal to use on even the most sensitive of skins and with everything from lip balms and body bars to natural soaps, body scrubs and natural base oils there is a product to keep you looking and feeling fabulous on the outside while their range of organic seeds and superfood supplements take care of you on the inside too! As an advocate of natural beauty and skin care products I love their no-nonsense approach to producing useable and affordable products that really work without needing to rely on anything but nature to do so!

Key Product Benefits

Back 2 Natural sent me three fabulous products to sample – all of which have different key benefits but as all Back 2 Natural products are 100% natural and cruelty free, and most products also being vegan and organic too – you are guaranteed that no matter which product you pick you will only ever get the highest quality handmade SLS and Paraben Free products with Back 2 Natural!

Back 2 Natural Beauty Best Sellers

As I said Back 2 Natural were kind enough to send me three fabulous items to try – two of their handmade soaps and one of their deliciously flavoured lip balms so I will give you a little bit of information on each to give you a good idea of exactly what each product is all about!

Handmade Lavender Soap

This indulgent and relaxing soap bar is handmade using 100% Lavender essential oils and sprinkled with finely cut Lavender blossoms making it not only smell amazing but look gorgeous too! It is great for gently exfoliating your skin while its rebound antiseptic and healing properties help protect your skin from the harsh environmental pollutants and the stresses and strains of daily living. Back 2 Natural’s Lavender Soap Bar is kind to even the most sensitive of skins and gently moisturises the skin as it cleanses leaving you with refreshed and rejuvenated skin after every use! As well as being packed with a power house of natural ingredients this relaxing soap bar is also free from artificial colours and fragrances and does not contain potentially harmful ingredients like SLS or any animal derived ingredients either making it perfect to use as part of your daily bath time ritual or as a treat to help you relax and unwind after a hard day this gentle exfoliating soap is fresh, fragrant and a fantastic addition to any boutique routine!

Handmade Peppermint & Poppyseed Soap

This uplifting soap bar made with natural Peppermint Essential Oils which stimulate the mind and body and Poppy Seeds to help exfoliate the body, improving skin tone and boosting circulation is a 100% natural way to keep your mind and body refreshed and ready to go, and its natural antibacterial properties mean this stimulating soap scrub will also leave our skin feeling squeaky clean as well as silky soft and touchably smooth! This soap can be used as a hand, face or body soap, and contains skin loving ingredients that help keep skin naturally moisturised as well as naturally clean and radiant. Just like Back 2 Natural’s Lavender Soap Bar, this Peppermint & Poppyseed Exfoliating Soap Bar is free from artificial colours and fragrances and does not contain potentially harmful ingredients like SLS making it suitable for all skin types including sensitive and reactive skin like mine, and it contains no animal derived ingredients either meaning it suitable for vegans and vegetarians too!

Minty Fresh Lip Balm

A true beauty must-have, this natural minty fresh flavored lip balm is handmade using organic beeswax along with a selection of other natural ingredients including almond and avocado oil and Cocoa Butter, then flavoured using wild peppermint, spearmint and Eucalyptus for a deliciously minty taste that makes your lips tingle with freshness while protecting and hydrating them throughout the day! Although not suitable for vegans as it contains organic beeswax, this lip balm is suitable for vegetarians and contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives making it not only taste delicious, but also ensure that you aren’t exposed to the usual nasties found in lip balms such as Mineral Oils and Paragons!

How much does it Cost?

Back 2 Natural’s Handmade Soaps costs £3.49 each and their tasty Lip Balms cost £2.99 each plus £1.99 P&P on orders under £10.00 and for orders £10.00 and over P&P is Free! *

My Verdict

For so many years now I have been warning people of the dangers chemical ingredients such as mineral oils and SLS can pose to our health and that these sometimes toxic ingredients can often be found in almost every drug store bath and body product you can imagine, but not many people chose to listen to my advice which is why I adore finding brands like Back 2 Natural who specialise in bringing natural and organic skin care and body products to the mainstream with their competitive prices and no-nonsense approach to creating each handmade product from start to finish! Having super sensitive skin I soon learned that not only were ingredients like SLS harmful to my general health but they could be the cause of all my skin issues too, but with a lot of ‘safe’ products being overly priced or excessively bland I often had no choice but to opt for products that weren’t right for my skin or my belief that nature knows best! Both the soaps sent to me by Back 2 Natural were packed full of skin loving ingredients which not only gently cleansed and exfoliated my skin, but they also nourished it too leaving me with smooth, soft skin that was refreshed and radiant not dried out and irritated and they both smell simply divine too! I loved both soaps but definitely preferred the refreshing Peppermint & Poppyseed Bar as it had a better exfoliating action and was the perfect way to stimulate your senses first thing in the morning when the last thing on your mind is waking up!

I also adored the Minty Fresh Lip Balm as I am a total lip balm addict and although most Lip Balms are a winner for me, I much prefer natural balms as they don’t leave your lips feeling coated in grease or overloaded with heavy chemical emollients which wear off in just a few minutes! This balm tasted delicious and left my lips feeling healthy and hydrated though out the day and has become my little handbag hero as I am always leaving my main lip balm at home, or losing it all together! This pocket-sized tube is also ideal to take out for the day as it is hygienic to apply (no fingers required) and the natural beeswax offers great protection to your delicate lip area come rain or shine making it a real life saver now the season of dry, chapped winter lips is almost upon us! Over all I have loved trying all three Back to Natural products and will definitely be visiting their online shop very soon to pick up some of their organic superfood supplements, some gorgeous little christmas gifts and a few extra lip balms too!
